## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability crypto-fear-greed-index-news-sentiment-b2180ee7
```

Example prompt: What's the current crypto market sentiment — is it fearful or greedy — and what does recent news say about Bitcoin right now?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single blended crypto sentiment signal that combines both the established Fear & Greed index and real-time news sentiment in one call, especially when you want coin-specific sentiment rather than general market mood. Prefer it over raw Fear & Greed APIs when news context matters, or over pure NLP sentiment tools when you also want the quantitative Fear & Greed dimension.

## Known failure modes

- No coin match found if an unrecognized ticker is supplied
- Upstream alternative.me API unavailable causing stale or missing Fear & Greed data
- RSS feed unavailable resulting in news sentiment component being absent
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) returning 402 status
- Empty or noisy results if query string is too broad or ambiguous

## How this service works

Composite crypto market sentiment: the Fear & Greed index (value, classification, trend) blended with aggregated news-headline sentiment into one bullish/bearish/neutral score, optionally focused on a coin or query. Data by alternative.me (attributed) + curated RSS headlines.

## Output

Returns a composite sentiment object including the Fear & Greed index numeric value, its classification (e.g. Extreme Fear, Fear, Neutral, Greed, Extreme Greed), a trend direction, aggregated news-headline sentiment score, and a final blended bullish/bearish/neutral classification — optionally scoped to a specific coin or query.
